Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer

Nick Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney; Aileen Wuornos: Life and Death of a Serial Killer) shot this compelling portrait in 1992 when Aileen Wuornos was on death row awaiting execution. Convicted for the killings of seven men in Florida, Wuornos was subsequently portayed in television movies and the recent theatrical award-winner Monster. Broomfield, after much difficulty in gaining access to her, sees a different drama swirling around her--a drama involving the desire for cash, notoriety and proximity to one of the biggest news stories of the decade.
